Can anybody help me I have a set of fox float 130 mm drcv forks and they wont use all the travel.they used to until recently ive tried running less pressure in them but it hasnt made a difference. Even if I let all the air out the fork they wont fully compress can anybody help?

It could be the piston o-ring has gone in the air side chamber, this allows the bath oil in the bottom of the air-sping lower leg to migrate to the upper chamber thus locking out the travel. Give mojo a call and explain to them what is wrong and order the correct o ring + replacement foam seal.

edit : but without physically seeing the fork i'm only hazarding a guess.
